New MiniLogin Release!

[Asram]

I'm with Angelox that an account-based (rather than IP-based) minilogin would be a great boon for the minilogin users. I don't think that's the part of the design that's causing the consternation though, right?

It's the effect of federating the servers and the potential problem of duplicate account names, right?

Well, I'm trying to set up the minilogin, and think I've figured out the readme file so far; but I have a question about two instructions:

insert into login_accounts set name='username',password=md5("yourpassword"),user_ active=1;

I set the user_active field at 1, but I'm not sure just what specifically I need to put for the name and password. Are the above settings ('username' for name and md5("yourpassword") for password) literal strings to be entered into these fields, or do they represent variables? In other words, do I replace 'username' with my own username and md5("yourpassword") with my own password, or do I type these lines in as literal strings into the db? My guess is that these are variables, but "md5" just seems like a strange way to note a variable.

Also . . .

insert into login_worldservers set account='accountname',password='yourpassword',name ='Public Name';

Same question as before. Is 'accountname' my account, or is it a literal string of characters to be entered into the db? Same question for 'Public Name'.

I appreciate any help with this.

you set them to whatever you want them to be they are not variables user_active must be set to 2 or you cant login makle sure you ONLY Change yourpassword to what you want the password to be DO NOT REMOVE md5("") that is the encryption of the password and MUST Be there

insert into login_accounts set name='username',password=md5("yourpassword"),user_ active=1;

Replace username with the name you want your account to be.
Replace yourpassword with the password you want to use, md5 is an encryption technique.
The user_active field makes sure you can login, if it is 0, it will not let you.

insert into login_worldservers set account='accountname',password='yourpassword',name ='Public Name';
Replace accountname with a account you will use in your eqemu_config.xml under <account>
Replace your password with an account password which will also be reflected in the eqemu_config.xml
The contents of name do not matter as far as I remember, this just needs to have something there.

Thanks for the help. I see there is some conflict in the information. Is it user_active=2 (per Aergad), or user_active=1 (per the readme file)?

Any value that is not 0 should make the user active, but in reality it should be 1.

Thanks again. One more clarification. You wrote:

"Replace accountname with a account you will use in your eqemu_config.xml under <account>"

Here is the contents of my eqemu_config.xml (names and password have been changed). Which piece of information are you calling the "accountname"? Is it the shortname, the username, something else?

 <?xml version="1.0">
<server>
        <world>
                <shortname>NAME</shortname>
                <longname>LONG NAME</longname>

                <!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
                <key>some long random string</key>

                <!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service. -->
                <http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />
        </world>

                <!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. -->
        <database>
                <host>localhost</host>
                <port>3306</port>
                <username>username</username>
                <password>password</password>
                <db>peq</db>
        </database>
</server>

it should look something like
